A Famous Dude Wearing Stripes.

Will Dorsey. who was once the king of dudes in Tennessee, but who is now serving term in the pcnlteutiary, was taken through the city by Deputy Warden Joe Turney of the penitentiary and placed in the penitentiary at Nash vile. Dorsey went to Nashville two years ago, and with his chum, a flashing young fellow, soon be- came the social lion with the best societo in the Rock city. The belles of the city fairly raved about them, and in less than three weeks the two had a lock of hair and a photograph of half the pretty girls in Nashville who knew nothing of the dudes, except they were such handsome gentlemen" At this iuncture 1t was discovered that the dudes were approprlating many articles found in parlors where they visited. The result was that Dorsey was arrested, convicted and sent up for five years. His chnm escaped.
 Dorsey was placed in the Coal Creek mines where he remained until the warden was persuaded to allow him to be placed in the Nashville prison where work is more genteel. Dorsey still retains his handsome appearance, although he takes his punishment hard Chattanooga Times.

TOPPING COTTON

Many experiments nave oeeh made in topping cotton in the last forty years, and the results and conclusions have been very d. verse. Sometimes 1t pays; often il does not; sometimes 1t inlureS. No rule can be giN en that will al ways work. The usual object in topping Is to prevent further growth of weed and forms after the plant has as many aS 1t can sustain. and when new forms would be too late to mature; the idea be- ing to induce the plant to throw all it's vigor into the effort to de- velop the forms already visible. This object. according to OuI ob' servation, is rarely attained by merely removing the growing top of the plant, but may often be ac- complished by topping or looping off the growing ends of the branch es, as well as the leader. In most cases where topping cotton result ed in increasing the yield it might have been noticed that the work was done rather early-sOme- time in July. Every one has ob !. served that stalks of cotton that were topped by the bite of the blow horse early in the season are often made much more fruitful thereby. In such cases the effect of the early topping was probably to push the branches of the stalks into more vigorous growth, caus- ing more rapid evolution of forms. On the whole, we have but little faith in topping cotton as a part of Il regular system.
 PULLING FODDER.
 The propriety of pulling fodder, i. e., whether it does not iniure the grain more than the fodder is worth, to pull the blades as is usu- ally done, is done, is one of the questions that has been long moot. ed, but never settled. EXperi- mentors differ in results and con- clusions. Possibly each is cor. rect m the results of his expert menet, bnt wrong in his general conclusions. The only true con. clusion is, that pulling the blades sometimes does, and sometimes does not injure the grain more than the value of the fodder se. cured. The tassel and silk per. form their offices, and are the first to fade; then the husk or shuck, and the enclosed grain. On worn and exhausted soils, or soils de. prived of vegetable matter. and ca, silly influenced by drouth, the blades often "dry ur' before thr grain is fully matured. In such ca. ses il is undoubtedly true that to hasten the stripping of the blades without reference to the condition of the ear, wonld result in more or lass ininry and Of weight of grain - The Southern Cultivator and Dix ie Farmer.

The Labor Movement.

calling the attention of it's readers to the following remarks of Mir. Carlisle st5.... What was originally intended as labor movement seems to have been converted into q mere politl. cal movement and is now being di- rected by ambitious politicians in stead of practical workingmen La- bor organizations formed for mu- tual improvement and protection. for the promotion of social inter- course aud the material and moral advancement of their members are nut only unohjpctinnable and mcr- ituriuuS, and should he encouraged. Laborcrs have a perfect right to organize for the purpose of con trolling their own business, but when they organize to control the business of other people 1t is quite different thing. When you speak of the labor movement in cOnnec- tion with elections suppose you mean the existing political labor movement, which l regard as very different thing from the or ganizations which preceded it. La l bor organizations, in the real and i proper sense of the term, will con tinue to exist as long as mankind is doomed to toil, but these politl- cal associations will crumbfe to pieces like all their predecessors. They will never, in my opinion, be Sutiicntly strong or compact to control any State or national elec-
 ton in this country. In mere To- cal elections they may for awhile either elect their own candidates or determine the contest between the candidates of the other parties, but beyond this they will accomplish nothing. Some of the measures proposed by this new party are al. so advocated by both the old ones, while others are opposed by both the old ones and an overwhelming majority of the people. As to cer- tain measures, therefore. the party is entirely useless, and to all others it is utterly powerless. Perma. nent political parties can not be created by revolution. They must grow spontaneously out of certain conditions of public affairs, and there are no such conditions now existing in this country to cal. for a new party. If however, the La bor.- party should continue it's organization until the presidential election. and should nominate can didates. l do not see how it can injnre Democracy, except possibly in the State of New York. The i. vote of the Labor tarty will be confined almost exclusively to the large cities, and they are general ! lv located in Republican States. It is true that Baltimore, New Or. leans, Louisville. and other very considerable cities, are situated in Democratic States, but the new party will not be able to control enough votes to give any one Of those States to the Republicans am not Suf1iently acquainted with the situation in New York City to justify me in expressing a positive opinion concerning the ef- feet of the labor vote there, but 1t seems reasonable to suppose that the old parties would loose in a. bout equal proportions according to their numbers.

Origin of the Name Woman's Christian Temperance Union.


 The taking down of the heavy stone walls of old William Street M. E. Church, Delaware, Ohio, be- gins to-day May 30). This plain old church, i'll connection with the Ohio Wesleyan University, has probably sent out more missionaries to every part of the world, than any other church in the dcnomina- ton. But that fact would not en- 1 title it's demolition to notice in the Union Signal. To the readers of this paper it will be interesting [ to learn that the first state organ. ization of theW umau'S Temperance ! Crusade was formed in this church. Here in May. 1871, an organizing committee created by the Cincin- natl Convention the April previ- ous, met and prepared constitu- tion and bylaws for all Ohio state union. Mrs. F. ". Lciitcr and i Mrs. $. K LcaVitt were members of this committee, of which the writer was chairman. It was in this church and at this time, the chairman holding the constitution in her hand, asked a name for this union. The name, Woman s Temperance Union, did not seem to express the scope of what was designed, and while the ladies hesitated, Mrs. Nellie Little said "Put in Christian"
 It was adopted, and the name Woman, s Christain Temperance Unlon, began it's course around the would at that momnet from the left side of the old altar where the de liberating group were gathered The committee had been empower ed to call convention to discuss and adopt or reject it's work. The convention was called the l1th oI the following June. It was large assembly ofeminent men and wo men. Ii adopted the constitution and bylaws with the name, Wom ans Christian Temperance Union presented to it by the committee
 The following November, at Gle veland, a national union was form. ed. which took the name given tC that of the Ohio state union, the National Woman's Christian Tem perance Union.

AGRICULTURAL.
For the Month of August.

August Is usually molth o' comparativr rest on the southern farm. The arduous labor of cultl- vating the two most important crops is pretty well over on every we'll managed farm, excepting pos sihly. in the eX,rtme northern edge of of our peculiar territory. Although July lst is literally the midway station in the years calen- d,r. August lst is really nearer the dividing line between the work of cultivation and the labors of tine harvest. Yet there may be some work of that may be protiia- bly done in the continued cnltlva- ton ot the cotton field.

 It depends on the condition oi the .plants and seasons. If the crop is in a growing condition, and fruiting well, but is rather late in development than it should be the cultivators, or shallow running sweeps and scrapes, may be run over the fields every ten days particularly after q rainfall sulii cient so form crust.

The Peerless Reaper Company, of
Canton, o., shipped two of their Peer

agreed to harvest at their own expense.
They have just finished cutting Mrs.

of the farmers In the Vicinity being
there to witness the working of these
superb machines.
The machines did their work fault

clean and without any waste. The YER
dict is unanimous that these machines
do better work, In both heavy and light
grain, than any other machines which
have ever been exhibited In this vi,
